Re: moving house
If it was me I would drop a small amount of oil into the cylinders through the spark plug holes and turn the engine over a good few turns by hand, then I would disconnect the coil and turn it over a bit on the starter to build up some oil pressure before actually starting it, will reduce the chance of damage from a dry start up.
